What's the most expensive bottle in our cellar?
The 1986 Penfolds Grange is widely considered the best Grange of the entire 1980s. The final vintage under Chief Winemaker Don Ditter, blending 87% shiraz with 13% cabernet sauvignon from Barossa, Clare Valley and McLaren Vale. Still drinking beautifully decades on. At $2,300 a bottle, would you take the plunge?

Did you know there’s a classic Melbourne steakhouse tucked away upstairs at the Mitre Tavern?
Settle in for premium steaks, seasonal produce and timeless hospitality in a warm, intimate setting. From favourites like our eye fillet to expertly aged cuts of grain-fed, MSA Platinum-grade beef, every steak is cooked over our purpose-constructed char-grill for a beautifully tender finish and rich, smoky flavour.

An 1930, Melbourne’s Mitre Tavern was auctioned for £22,250 and purchased by the Royal Insurance Company.
Although the company initially planned to demolish the building for office expansion, public sentiment and the tavern’s Gothic architecture ultimately saved one of the city’s oldest buildings.

Up the Tavern’s grand staircase lies our steakhouse.
The open area on the first floor of the Mitre was made famous as the House of Lords’ Restaurant, flourishing in the late seventies under the patronage of stockbrokers. Today, the refitted Steakhouse owes all its style in keeping with the original theme of the venue.
Stained glass windows let sunshine enter the old-style, cosy environs. Enjoy our premium, grain-fed, MSA grade steak, sizzling from the immense char-grill in our comfortable, club-like atmosphere.
